Elves Live In The  Land     
      Beyond  The Great Dam.      
  It Was Built In  The  Late  Sixties.  
    The Elves  Came To  Us Then.    
                      
                      
 They  Were  Very  Manipulative,  And  We 
 Came To Trust Them.           Us 
 Kids Would  Play Down At The Water  Even 
 Though  We Were Not Allowed.       
     Sometimes The  Sluice  Would Close 
 Entirely,  And  The River  At  The  Dams 
 Foot Would  Dry  Up, Revealing The Rocky 
 Water  Garden   That  Had  Been   Hidden 
 Beneath, And  We Would Go There.     
        Before The  Dam Opened Again, 
 There  Would Be A Signal,  But The Elves 
 Would Make Us Not  Hear It, And Suddenly 
 We Would Find The Water Rising,  Already 
 At Our Knees.                
                      
   By  Then  The Elves  Would Be Gone.
